In an effort to link to my completed quilt projects on the left sidebar of this Arts & Crafts section, I discovered that I had forgotten to share yet another quilt that was completed during the Great Blog Drought of 2010.
So here she is:
I love the way this quilt turned out; it was one of [...]

I posted this quilt on Facebook a while ago, but that was during my extended break from blogging and I just realized that I never shared it on here.
What prompted my memory?
The girls I made this quilt for are in Africa right now!
Two teenage girls from our church decided to raise money so that [...]

I made this little quilt recently for friends of ours who are having their first child in August.
I’ve made a lot of quilts lately entirely (or almost entirely) out of 2 1/2” squares of fabric. I have a lot of fabrics and the smaller the squares, the more I can use – I love [...]

Simple and stylish… with swirly quilting. And did I mention reversible?!
I’m on a roll… I have bought no new fabric or batting for the last five quilts I’ve made. I’m using the materials I’ve accumulated in the last five years of quilting and having fun doing it.

I’ve been playing catch-up in making quilts for family members and friends who’ve had babies recently (or not so recently now).

Did you figure it out?
Do you know what the pattern is?
Here’s where it came all together:
It’s a Triple Irish Chain, silly!
In unconventional colors! I let Will’s mommy choose the pattern and colors.
The back is the orange print you see peeking out above.
I love when I can get my camera to show a quilt’s texture, because [...]

One momentous thing happened during my blog sabbatical. I finished the Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt I’d been working on for such a long time.

I finally got this quilt finished up last week. Yesterday I washed it up, took pictures of it and got it ready to send to my customer. I’ll have fond memories of this one: it was the project I was working on when I found out I was pregnant. Also, because of that, I have [...]

I’m done with the table runner! It’s official: this is my 2nd favorite quilt I have made so far. I would say as of now, my favorite quilt is this quilt pictured first because I love the block – the classic feathered star – and because of the quilting (trapunto):
But back to my most [...]

A few weeks ago, I posted a preview of these quilts here.
And here I posted pictures of the little boys who will be receiving the quilts.
Here are the finished quilts!
Leslie said that she wanted bright colors and wanted the quilts to be similar but not exactly the same.
Once again, after shopping in a [...]
